On Monday, a federal judge dismissed former President Donald Trump’s defamation lawsuit against writer E. Jean Carroll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to The Hill,<\/a> U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan\u00a0dismissed Trump\u2019s argument<\/a> Carroll defamed him last May, ruling Carroll\u2019s statement made on a cable network was substantially true and \u201c[t]here would have been no different effect on the mind of an average listener.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe difference between Ms. Carroll\u2019s allegedly defamatory statements \u2014 that Mr. Trump \u2018raped\u2019 her as defined in the New York Penal Law \u2014 and the \u2018truth\u2019 \u2014 that Mr. Trump forcibly digitally penetrated Ms. Carroll \u2014 is minimal. Both are felonious sex crimes,\u201d Kaplan ruled.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Kaplan, a Clinton appointee, separately rejected Trump\u2019s defense that he has \u201cabsolute presidential immunity\u201d in the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump attorney Alina Habba said the former president would be filing an appeal shortly, calling it a \u201cflawed decision.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are pleased that the Court dismissed Donald Trump\u2019s counterclaim,\u201d Carroll attorney Robbie Kaplan said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThat means that the January 15th jury trial will be limited to a narrow set of issues and shouldn\u2019t take very long to complete,\u201d she continued. \u201cE. Jean Carroll looks forward to obtaining additional compensatory and punitive damages based on the original defamatory statements Donald Trump made in 2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
